Gosh can you believe it!!! another week has gone by. In just
one more week I will have 6 months under my belt!!!! its so crazy. This week I
have learned so much about myself and what I am able to do when I put my trust
in the lord with a humble heart.
You all know me, I am horrible at
remembering street names, where people live, directions and all that stuff.
Hahah well being that my new companion does not know the area I have to be the
one that leads the way to our appointments. This has always been the thing I am
most afraid of. haha "just get me to the house and ill be fine"
haha.
The first day was the worst I was
panicking and could not find anyone. but that night I had a nice long
conversation with my father and heaven. What a wonderful opportunity it has
been to turn to my father in heaven in my times of difficulty and see how he
will lift me and make me stronger to be able to do the work that I need to do
for him. I feel like I am literally being led by angels from one house to the next
finding the people that have been prepared to here the gospel. We are going to
baptize Antonio this week. We just ran into him in the bank this morning. I
know with all my heart God is placing him in our path for a reason.
This morning I had the
opportunity to study in the book of Moses. I love learning about the creation
and the plan of salvation. One this that I leaned this morning was how every
part of the gospel was so carefully planned out by our father in heaven from
the very beginning and the teachings of Jesus Christ have always been the path
back to our fathers home in heaven.
I learn so much here. Everyday
is such a miracle, the more I learn the more I want to share the message of the
gospel to the world. And the more I open my mouth the more joy I feel from
living the Gospel. I feel that I am learning to see the world how God sees it.
I am learning exactly how he feels when his children fall short of their
potential.
Here as a missionary you learn to see the people as God sees
them. You see what the gospel can bring to their lives and you want that for
them just as God wants the salvation of all men. I have learned how God must
feel when I don't do all that he knows I can do.
I know that we are on this
earth to prepare for something great and I know that every trial will help us
become what our father in heaven needs us to become. Everything is part of his
plan. Have faith. pray. And god will always provide a way through every
difficulty. I know that this is the work of the lord and that if I turn to the
lord, I will be able to accomplish my part in his great plan.
I love you all so much!!!
have a great week.
love,
Elder Bryan Jacobson
